  1. Anymore, I'm not confident I could do 72 laps in my bathtub
  2. For context, the poster I quoted is most likely the latest version of our most persistent recidivist, aka Chuck.
  3. Sizzlebuzz supporting Jimmy was likely to doom that scenario anyway Thing about Mayfield though is that we're not the only team reported to have interest in him. As an aside, there's apparently a story that he and his wife recently visited somewhere in the general vicinity of Seattle. Mind you, that doesn't constitute a definitive connection to the Seahawks.
  4. There are several. Here's one: Back when Brady was a free agent two years ago he wanted to join up with the 49ers. They were his first choice before the Buccaneers ended up winning his favor. Alas, the 49ers elected not to pursue Brady after consideration. They decided that sticking with Jimmy Garoppolo, fresh off of a Super Bowl appearance, was the best move for them going forward. SI.com It's one reason why many believe the "y'all are gonna stick with that motherf--ker" comment was referencing the 49ers and Garoppolo.
  5. Newton ran a Zone Read offense, not an RPO. There are similarities, but they're not the same thing. RPOs have emerged more recently while use of the zone read has been significantly reduced (at the pro level, at least). Those of us who haven't been banned a dozen times or more by them might feel differently.
  6. Sounds like it might actually happen...
  7. Do we need a kicker though? Gonzalez did pretty well last year.
  8. Granted he's probably better than Rhule (that's a low bar to clear) but I'd like to aim for higher than consistent 7-9 records.
  9. Best wishes, LP. Lady Cowboy Fan is almost walking normally again. She took me out yesterday to get a new phone. They've told her that her next surgery will be in August so I guess we'll start the whole process over then.
  10. The idea that the next option might be bad is never a sufficient reason to stick with one that you already know is bad.
  11. This may be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but things...change. There was a time when the Texans flatly refused to even discuss trading Watson, but over time, their feelings on the topic evolved. To his credit, McClain was actually one of the first to predict that the Texans would eventually back off their stance and deal Watson, and he was of course proven right. But heck, even if he did make mistakes, someone who's never correctly predicted anything certainly wouldn't have any room to talk about him
  12. From Vic Tafur in The Athletic... Panthers Under 5.5 (+115) The Panthers improved their offensive line. Too bad Sam Darnold is still the QB. There is still some question as to whether Matt Rhule knows what he is doing, which is not ideal in Year 3. They have a shot thanks to their friendly schedule, but if they don’t split their first four games against the Browns, Giants, Saints and Cardinals, or sweep the Falcons, they are in big, big trouble. NFL win totals, over/unders and best bets for all 32 teams Tafur is a long time Raiders beat writer now working for The Athletic as a national reporter.
  13. I feel like that a lot, but I guess that's why I'm seeing a neurologist
  14. Possibly. I suspect if you go to the pro level it might translate to an occasional trick play or something. Don't know that it's be "game changing" or anything of that sort. (realistically, how many guys would actually be able to do that and do it well?)
  15. Seeing this... ...my mood is "thank God this story no longer has anything to do with us" There was also word this week of Watson admitting in testimony that his initial accuser broke down in tears after their massage session (though he swore he didn't understand why).
  16. It's impressive. I'm not absolutely certain it's an advantage. I suppose it could be (the clip does show him doing it in actual games) but it kind of reminds me of those crazy kicking and punting trick shot videos. While they're cool, I don't know if they translate into anything practical.
  17. ...will apparently be guys that can throw it with both hands
  18. Now trying to figure out why the hell that got labeled as "sensitive content"
